Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass received a nasty surprise this morning … ’cause LAPD says an individual broke into her residence, while she was home, TMZ reports.
According to the report by TMZ, the Los Angeles Police Department announced the news late Sunday afternoon, posting to X a person broke into the Getty House, the official residence of the mayor Karen Bass, at around 6:40 AM Sunday.
While they confirmed occupants were in the home at the time, they wouldn’t say exactly who, but, law enforcement sources revealed that Mayor Karen Bass was one of them, TMZ report added.
LAPD says no one was injured, and they took a suspect into custody without incident, still, a scary situation for Mayor Bass.
Bass who served in Congress from 2011 to 2022 before resigning the office to take over the mayoral job in L.A.. is a close friend and advocate for President Joe Biden.
This is coming after the break-in at Nancy Pelosi’s San Francisco home back in 2022, when her husband Paul Pelosi was bludgeoned with a hammer by David DePape.
It’s unclear at this time if the break-in at Bass’ residence was politically motivated.
The Mayor’s office released a statement as well, confirming what cops announced on X and adding, “The Mayor is grateful to LAPD for responding and arresting the suspect.”
LAPD’s elite Robbery and Homicide division is investigating the case, TMZ added.
